Then on the reboot kernel oops]
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing

EIP that time was in wake_up, and the call trace (very long!) started:
end_buffer_io_async, end_scsi_request, rw_intr, scsi_old_done, ...

and for some odd reasion if I boot back into the old kernel I still get
a page fault.
I have to boot of a disk then install the old kernel again to be able
to boot

I have a dual 200 tyan mother board with 128 megs of memory, a adaptec
2940UW scsi a 4 gig quantaum UW scsi hd
a 7 cd scsi 2 changer
